An indicator system having light emitting diode (LED) indicators and an
open-circuit detecting circuit. In the open-circuit detecting circuit, a
voltage at a point between a constant current source and the first
resistor is applied to a base of a transistor. The second resistor is
connected in parallel between the base and an emitter of the transistor.
The third and the fourth resistors are connected in series between the
constant current source and a collector of the transistor. The fifth
resistor is connected between the emitter of the transistor and the first
resistor. The threshold determining circuit determines a voltage at a
point between the third and the fourth resistors as a threshold voltage.
With this configuration, the threshold voltage can be adjusted according
to the resistance of the first resistor.
